Cheerleading sponsorship dropped by ASCBC
By Mary Payne
Staff Writer
Rumors about the
Lancer cheerleading squad
has become a source of
confusion lately.
In the past, cheerleading has been sponsored by ASCBC but the
new student leadership
decided this summer to
cease sponsorship.
According to Nathan
Brown, ASCBC president,
one of the primary reasons
ASCBC made this decision is because they felt
that $8,000 was being
spent on an activity that
did not "effect all the students."
Brown also reported
the athletic department
was initially supposed to
pick up cheerleading af- rently the advisor is Keri
ter a year of sponsorship Overstreet. This action by
with ASCBC. However, student services was
the transfer of responsi- sparked by growing stu-
bility from ASCBC to thcjr-
athletic department nevei
happened. Traditionallj
in other schools
cheerleading is an athletic
responsibility.
Brown also expressec
his concern that tht
ASCBC vice presiden
would need to have au
thority over an older anc
more experienced coach
Brown stressed the neec
for administrative inpu
and leadership in dealing
with a cheerleading
squad.
Cheerleading is now
standing at club status anc
has been picked up bj
Student Services. Cur-
dent interest in the continuation of Cheer and
hostility toward the
ASCBC decision.
Jessica Williams
California Baptist
College senior and cheerleader, Mary Beth
Maiden, was at the forefront of the drive for
Cheer. She said, "I think
cheer is a very important
aspect of Cal Baptist social and athletic life because it involves students
showing support at basketball games. I feel it
was very disappointing
that the parties in charge
did not recognize the importance of cheer and
take responsibility for it."
It has been suggested
that ASCBC was cutting
cheer to provide more
funds for Blue Crew and
the proposed pep band.
Not only did Brown adamantly deny these ru-

Trustees vote for long anticipated salary raise
By Ted Murcray
Co-Editor
The trustees voted in
sweeping changes that
will affect all students,
faculty, staff, and administration.
The vote that seems to
have made most people
happy is the increase of
8% to the base of all salary schedules. This
means that even the students working for the
school at minimum wage
will receive a pay raise.
That change is retroactive
for persons employed
July 1,1995 and will affect future paychecks for
everyone.
The trustees also
voted to approve two new
degrees, a Bachelor of
Science in Information
Systems (computers), and
a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy.
California Baptist
College also welcomed
seven new faculty members: Lee Erickson, Asst.
Professor of Physical
Education;Leena
Furtado, Assistant Professor of Education;
Helen Huntley, Assistant
Professor of English;
Scott Key, Associate Professor of Philosophy and
Humanities; John
McCarthy, Associate Professor of Political Science; Jeff Potter, Assistant Prof, of Physical
Education; Dr. James Lu,
Associate Professor of
English, and Teresa
Tillery, Associate Professor of Education. George
C. Hale was also approved for the Andersen
Chair of Biblical Principles in the business department.
President Ellis announced that Cal Baptist
had recently been added
to the John Templeton
honor roll for character
building schools in
America.
The decisions made by
the trustees were largely
based on the growth of
the school. Enrollment
increased from 808 students last fall to 1226 students this fall. The
graduate program also
jumped from 11 students
to 73 this year. Cal Baptist added five new sports
this year which helped to
increase our numbers.
Student residents are up
to 405 from 285 last year.
The increase in numbers
prompted Nathan Brown,
ASCBC president, to
speak on the need to renovate the housing facilities.
President Ellis commented on these problems
by saying "You're always
going to have problems,
but the question is, will
you have good problems
or bad problems? I'd
rather have problems
caused by growth."
Although the growing
pains were acknowledged, no specific plans
were made by the trustees to remedy the housing and food service difficulties. The meeting,
however, was charged
with excitement because
the long anticipated salary raise and the all time
high in enrollment.
